Now, I cannot blame the slow speed entirely on IHUG, as the lines around
here seem to let water in heck of a lot, so soon as it rains, my router
loses the connection and reconnects at anything between 5000k and 256k -
usually the latter. It has been like this for about 8 months, and my
previous ISP seemed to be able to get Telecom to reset my port which would
fix the issue until the next decent bit of rain. IHUG have done the same
once, but obviously there is a bigger issue here than just my port.
So really, my connection is pathetic. Its not reliable and is slow as hell.
I have emailed IHUG regarding this, but heard nothing back at this time -
thing that Im wondering about now though, who do I complain to for faulty
lines as I have left Telecom as my telco and moved my line to IHUG etc for
all telecommunications. Is it IHUG or Telecoms responsibility ?
Friend of mine not even a kilometre away is with IHUG and gets 6mb
connections all the time and no disconnections. It bites. Fix it. Someone.
Please.

5G per month which is always more than enough because I'm not
interested in movie downloads and other bandwidth-hungry material.
Occasionally I Skype with pics, but most times audio-only discussion
is sufficient.

I wouldn't pay one cent for your upload speed, it's terrible.

That can't be right! I see on TV several times an hour that Ihug (with the
big smiley-face) are just the bee's-knees. It has to be true or it wouldn't
be on telly. ;-)

I'd love to see what results the nzherald get out of it and what conclusions
they get. As I own the website which the tests are done from (speedtest.net
uses www.nzdsl.co.nz for the tests) I can see all the tests been done and
over the last couple of years I have over 2,000,000 speedtests done on the
website (mostly from NZ).
